School team triumphs to win bowls

The Manjimup Senior High School team Aim High has won the 2018 Mitre 10 Retravision Corporate Bowls with a convincing win over the Apex TBO team at Manjimup Country Club on Thursday.

Apex were the inaugural winners of the Corporate Bowls Shield back in 1996, but were unable to back it up in 2018.

It was Aim High’s second win in three years. The team consisted of Steve Miolin, Tim Blee, Sue Edwards and Stephen Hill.

Robert Whitfield, Tom Muir, Fernando Pessotto, Andy Muir and Doug Moyle competed for the Apex TBO team.

The other 10 runners in the finals comprised of the Cosy Creek C’s, A Team, Manjimup Glass, Tigers, Tiger Boys, KB, Manjimup Fresh, Grease Monkeys, Girls Girls Girls and Wiseman Signs, who finished in that order.

Two teams, the Bowling Stones and Cheeky Cherries played off for the wooden spoon.

The B green was the venue for a number of spirited grudge matches which were played at the same time as the finals, with bragging rights acquired by some.

The presentation of prizes to the winners were made by Mitre 10 Retravision managers Dean Murray and Nick Herbert.

Kleenheat representative Grant Lamont presented the four Weber Barbecues, donated by Kleenheat, to the four lucky weekly raffle winners.

A total of 46 teams competed in 2018, a number that the Manjimup Men’s Bowls hopes to see increase in 2019.

Organisers thanked all the helpers and sponsors.
